Forthcoming meetings AEJ lunchtime
meetings are open to non-members. They are usually held at the London
office of the European Parliament, 2 Queen Anne's Gate, London SW1. The
meetings cost £20 a head. Arrangements may
vary and details will be sent out by email before each event. If you have not
received the notice, please register your interest in the two weeks
preceding the event by emailing the Secretary on celia@aej-uk.org 12 September 2008 – Arlene McCarthy
MEP Arlene McCarthy has been MEP for the North West Region since 1999. As chair of the key Internal Market and Consumer Protection Committee Committee, she is closely concerned with the European laws that most affect our everyday lives. See www.labouronline.org 18 September 2008 –
Michael Connarty MP Michael Connarty has been chairman of the
Commons European Scrutiny Committee for the past 18 months. Formerly a
teacher, he has been Labour MP for Linlithgow and East Falkirk since 1992. See www.mconnartymp.com 23 October 2008 – HE
Barbara Tuge-Erecińska Mrs Tuge-Erecińska has been Polish
Ambassador to the UK since 2006. Before the fall of the Berlin Wall, she was
unable to find employment and devoted herself to the Solidarity movement in
Gdansk – officially, therefore, persona
non grata. After 1989, her strong Scandiniavian ties soon led to
ambassadorships in Sweden and Denmark, and posts in the Foreign Ministry
connected with European affairs. See www.london.polemb.net 13 November 2008 – Jon
Moulton Jon Moulton founded Alchemy Partners, a
leading private equity firm, in 1997. The alchemy in question is the
conversion of leaden mismanagement into golden profitability – a
variation on the venture capital theme. One of the few who spoke out against
the subprime bubble at its peak, Jon Moulton's warnings fell on deaf ears.
His analysis of the crisis that followed was as scathing about the failings
of UK regulation as it was about the greed of the financial sector ("How
the banks bet your money" 18 February 2008, Dispatches on Channel 4). See www.alchemypartners.co.uk (in
development) and business.timesonline.co.uk 20-23 November 2008 Linz,
Austria – International Congress of the AEJ. This event is open
to AEJ members only. See Membership |
